That's how you get weird things like the AI determining that your favorite items are jam, baking soda and whatever you left at the back of your fridge to rot for six months.

It is easy to detect what's in your fridge. We have that today on some smart fridges.

The problem to be solved though is

what's in your fridge
what's not in your fridge
what do you consume vs throw away
what do you buy
where do you shop
what prices are available
what's the best way to minimize cost and store trips
what's your metric for how to balance that

Of those things, AI is really only helpful for determining the metric for how much money you need to save to add another grocery stop, and knowing that the orange blob is probably baking soda.

Most of the rest of that is manual inputs or relatively basic but tedious programming, and those are the parts that would be the most annoying.
I say this as a person who has repeatedly utterly failed to use https://grocy.info/ because actually recording what you eat vs throw away is painful.

This isn't a great AI problem not because AI can't help, but because the tedious part isn't the part it can help with right now.

Yeah its not even remotely possible for someone to manually input that they eat 2 slices of cheese and 20grams of butter and 20 grams of jam every time they do so. And it is not feasible for AI to see inside closed packages or jars how much is eaten.
